How our corporate paella catering works in Arnos Grove

Work events need fast, inclusive food that keeps people talking. Live paella ticks every box. Whether it is client and customer events and team-building events, we can cook bowl food, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts and more.

For offices in and around Arnos Grove, the cooking spot is normally a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Facilities teams normally need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

DIY paella versus live catering

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
